The Fierce Edge Rifle finally showed up, and I have done a once over checking it out.
I ran a few cleaning patches thru it to clean out the bore as well as cleaned off the bolt lug area etc.
Rifle first impressions is good.
Weight doesn't seem too bad, even with the NF on top. I think it is close to 2 lbs lighter than the Browning 300 I hauled around this year.
The scope caps (NF) I added, up front wont fit in the upright position so I simply rotate them to the side so they clear when opening and closing.
The rear ones rotate with the adjustment of the power range setting, but have a feature that allows just the ring to rotate back to any desired position. I have it set to be fully to the right t lowest power setting and when set to highest it is all the way to the left- this will also give an quick reference peek as I get used to it to where the power setting is without having to locate the lazered indicating numbers on the ocular.
Talley light weight rings are simple and clean.
I installed a level for the longer shots.
I am going to have to add a cheek riser for my liking. I am naturally a bit low in the scope when I set up. I was hoping the weld was tall enough but it isn't. - easy fix
Hard to beat the Atlas pod set ups.
The bolt felt a bit more loose in the action that I expected, but will decide that after some groups are sent.
It is definitely smooth- no complaints there at all. I love the fluted aspect on any bolt.
I was very concerned over the 2.5 lb pull on the trigger being a bit too heavy for my liking, but it sure feels more like 1.5 to me- very nice.
The break is clean and unnoticeable and the Limb saver at the other end will both aid in taming the RUM loads.
2 swivel set up is nice for a sling set up, but I carry the gun bearer and rifle rides in that so I don't use slings, but it's great having it if ever needed. I haven't gotten deep into it to see how it is mounted into the stock yet.
The included target is what I would expect this gun to shoot. Nice that it can do that with factory ammo as well.
More to come after some rounds sent through the tube.
